Stirling Square in SBO of Mettis from Saints Chamonix

For Saints Chamonix, the exit comes a decade after the GP acquired Mettis Aerospace in a carve-out from 3i-backed industrial group Mettis. 3i had bought the parent company in 1999.

During its tenure as majority owner, Stirling Square plans to grow Mettis through organic growth and acquisitions aimed at consolidation in the company's sector.

Mettis's management team, led by CEO Gordon Fraser, will remain on board as minority shareholders.
